THE FAMILIES NEED YOUR SUPPORT

We are grateful to everyone who has helped us be there for the families we serve. As we face the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, we are looking at ways to thoughtfully adapt our delivery of programs and care.

The families we serve face critical illness and many have compromised immune systems. In speaking with medical professionals and social workers, the families need the services we provide now more than ever, and we are dedicated to ensuring they are not alone on their journey.

To do this, we have set up a Response Fund so we can quickly purchase items, as we are able to source them.

With our supply chain interrupted and the suspension of groups and volunteers doing projects, many people have reached out asking for ways they can help.

The best way people can help is to make a donation.

With your support we can:

PURCHASE GROCERY AND GAS CARDS

We can purchase grocery and gas gift cards to help families that we are unable to reach, so they can purchase needed staples and have transportation to hospital treatments.

PURCHASE CLEANING AND PAPER PRODUCTS

We are having a challenge locating needed supplies and are working to source these items that include: Disinfectant Wipes and Spray, Paper Towels and Toilet Paper, and Hand Sanitizer (99.9% or more).

PURCHASE NON-PERISHABLE FOOD AND ESSENTIAL TOILETRY ITEMS

Previously, groups helped to underwrite and assemble Easy Meal Care Bags (non-perishable food items), and Family Toiletry Bags (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.). With groups unable to come in, we need to purchase and assemble these items with the help of our staff.

Your donation can help us sustain these families at a time when they are already fragile and their stability threatened. Bringing them crucial support, will help to ease these stresses at a time of increased isolation.

Ways You Can Help From Home

We invite you to explore alternate ways to participate and provide support to families. We encourage you to integrate any of these experiences into your child/children’s home-schooling. Families and children facing critical illness truly appreciate all the care, kindness and support you share, especially during these uncertain times.
